    Exclamation Really Netflix? The 3DS before Linux?

    So Netflix is making an app for the 3DS before adding support for Linux. I think they're just putting it off. They would get more money for supporting Linux than the 3DS. Sure, I bet Nintendo's paying them, but I doubt very many people will get a subscription for the 3DS. Where as several people have CANCELED their subscription because of no support. There's also not as many people that own the 3DS compared to Linux Users.

    I'm not saying that people aren't looking forward to the 3DS Netflix App. I'm saying that I doubt that the 3DS getting the Netflix App will be influential in their decision to get a subscription. Where as if Netflix came to Linux they would regain some of their old customers and get new ones.

    How far behind are you guys? I had known that Netflix was developing an app for the 3DS since the damn thing was announced! This isn't really surprising to me, if at all.

    I've known this for several months now, but I've just thought of this.

    Let's see, I can safely say that noone watches streaming content on their servers, so.... Netflix needs to bow to the pressure of ~1% of the computing population?
    I wouldn't hold my breath.

    I can tell you that ~1% of the Computing Population is more than the Population that owns 3DSs, but 2.07% of the World Internet Usage is from Linux and you can't stream without an internet connection.

    We've been over this before guys, it's about the OS being able to ensure copyright protection.
